Richard Ciccone

Special Teams Coordinator and Wide Receivers Coach

Richard Ciccone is beginning his first year as the special teams coordinator and wide
receivers coach for the Bluffton University football team. He came to Bluffton after
stints at Kenyon College and Marietta College.

Ciccone handled the defensive line and was promoted to recruiting coordinator at Kenyon
College in 2011, a move that helped the Lords double their number of commitments over
the previous year. At Marietta College in 2006-07, Ciccone directed the running backs
and assisted with game planning for a squad that finished third in the OAC in total
offense.

Prior to his time at Kenyon College, Ciccone did extensive work with the Ohio State
Football Team, including identifying recruits, reviewing transcripts and working as
a camp counselor for the Buckeyes. In addition, he was a counselor at Mount Union's
Larry Kehres Football Camp in 2004-05.

Ciccone is a member of the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) as well as
holding a certificate in Jump Stretch. He was a two-year starter and two-time National
Champion for Coach Kehres at Mount Union while earning his Bachelor of Arts degree
in history at Mount Union from 2001-04.
